The Cadence Academic Network helps build strong relationships between academia and industry, and promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence.

A huge knowledge exchange platform for academia to network with industry. We are looking for academic speakers to talk about their research to the industry attendees at the Academic Track at CDNLive EMEA and Silicon Valley.

Key Benefits

Unmatched scalability

Advanced debug and coverage

Hardware/software co-verification

Support for Dynamic Power Analysis (DPA), hard and soft IP, and metric-driven verification

Using the Palladium® XP series, your design team can perform more verification and validation tasks to help improve overall time to market and product quality. With its hot-swap technology, the Palladium XP series delivers unparalleled productivity as you can smoothly transition among simulation, simulation acceleration, and emulation environments at runtime without re-compilation.

The Palladium XP series combines two proven technologies (Palladium emulation and Cadence Incisive® Xtreme® acceleration) to deliver the best of both worlds. It transcends traditional emulation by offering flexible new simulation-like use models that were traditionally impractical. By integrating with the Cadence vManager™ Metric-Driven Signoff Platform, the Palladium XP series supports a metric-driven flow that accelerates verification. vManager Metric-Driven Signoff Platform automates and manages the execution of regressions on an accelerated verification computing platform. You’ll be able to use a common verification plan and extract constraint results from multiple locations into a common database for signoff analysis.

As Cadence promised, our validation environment now runs hundreds of times faster than with simulation. Accelerated VIP running on the Palladium XP increased my team’s productivity by 100%. It also enabled us to find bugs we were unable to reach using simulation.

Palladium XP is an essential tool that enables us to successfully develop our ASICs and to verify our design much earlier in the production cycle. This equates to cost, time, and money savings while helping us bring products to market much faster.
